Nerf NV?

[󠁳⁧⁧GUNK󠀡󠀡󠁳]

In the current state of the game, night maps barely change how the game is played. I think this is a big reason they never get picked.

Sure, snipers have shorter range and you can see lazers, but when was the last time you saw a flashlight on someone's gun so they could see people better at night? Night vision makes using flashlights, and using any amount of darkness as cover, obsolete. A version of night maps where using flashlights, or hiding in the dark actually benefit players (instead of being completely overshadowed by night vision) would make the game a lot more interesting.

Adding something like streetlights that blind night vision on night maps could work somewhat to nerf night vision, incentivising players to use normal vision where people could play in a more stealthy way.

As of now, night maps change how we play slightly and make the game slightly uglier with NV, and that should be changed.

But that's just my opinion. How do you guys think night maps could be made more interesting?

Kinda agree laser and torch don't have any meaning in night map.

use flares

Do you really think soldiers are running around with flashlights at nighttime?
Flashlights are used to blind people wearing NVG´s.

Looking past flares is not difficult. There hasn't been a single time a flare has stopped me from killing someone while using nv.

Issue is that flashlights do very little to blind people using nv

It changes the game in one massive way imo.
Way less snipers.

Im not saying thats good or bad. i like sniping myself.
I just notice way less sniping on night maps due to the inability to use large scopes.
Want a game without a ton of snipers? play a night map.

Seems like enough incentive just for that.

THAT being said.
Night vision needs a range nerf. You can see way too far with that ♥♥♥♥.
Sneaking around isnt any more possible than it is on day maps.

They need to make nighttime like RUST night time, where you can't exploit it. Thats why so many people vote for night maps, because theirs an exploit that allows you to see in the dark.

I don't vote them because they simply mean more eye strain for me, has nothing to do with player behavior or whatever. I doubt most people think that much about it either, more like just prefer daytime as a setting in itself.

Also some stuff works blatantly, directly worse at night or like not at all. Vehicles for example have zero night vision from what I have seen? I managed to man an APC on Lonovo night and immediately bailed again because I wouldn't see sh*t with it anyway. Maybe I should try again, I dunno.

Oh, yea, and this: Why is it that it's always Lonovo night? Vote some other map at least if you want night, people...
